The Rhetoric of Roman Transportation: Vehicles in Latin Literature – PDF

Latin literature has greatly represented Romans in motion, but the relevance of vehicles as a conveyor of cultural and textual meaning has been overlooked. Now, the well-researched and comprehensive eBook titled The Rhetoric of Roman Transportation: Vehicles in Latin Literature (ePub) sheds light on the significance of various vehicles in Latin literary works. Unlike the old approaches where vehicular portrayals were seen as mere reflections of reality or poetic symbols, this eBook uncovers how conveyances work as a representation system, creating a structure that helps understand the texts and cultural discourses revolving around power, gender, and empire. Each chapter is an in-depth study on the representation of specific conveyances from everyday (plaustrum) to grandiose (currus) transports, spread across various authors and textbooks. This makes it an essential read for literature enthusiasts, scholars, and history buffs. Get a copy of this eBook today with ISBN 978-1108481762.
